Artists for Truth: Devising a Movement Happy Hour
Friday, June 23, 6-8 pm
Join the Artists for Truth team at Spacecamp for our closing event this Friday: an open community visioning session and happy hour. Dialogue will be facilitated by Artists for Truth organizers. Enjoy some cold beverages (generously donated by local breweries Flying Dog & Peabody Heights, and also by National Bohemian) as we collectively envision the future of Artists for Truth! Also, if you haven’t been to Spacecamp to see the artwork in the Artists for Truth Benefit Exhibition (or if you’ve had your eye on something this whole time) this will be the final opportunity- there is still much artwork left to view and to purchase!!
Artists for Truth is made possible by the generous support of The Robert W. Deutsch Foundation, individual donors, and our art community. Special thanks to Strong City Baltimore for serving as fiscal sponsor for Artists for Truth, and to SpaceCamp Gallery for hosting us this summer.
